📚 Reading

Please ensure your child brings their:
📒 Reading record
📖 Current reading book

to school every day. This helps us monitor reading development and progress throughout the term and year.

🏠 Please encourage your child to read at home as often as possible and record any:
✍️ Comments
❓ Questions
⚠️ Concerns

in the reading record, as this is an excellent way for home and school to communicate.

I will check your child’s reading record, add my initials ✍️ and change books when needed.
📌 Please ensure the reading record is signed, otherwise we will presume your child has not read and books will not be changed.

🎟️ Raffle tickets will be awarded for reading at home, with rewards for consistent readers ⭐.

This term, P.E. will take place on:

📅 Tuesday – indoors with Mrs Johnson
